Joe Avezzano was an undersized offensive lineman on FSU’s 1964 team that crashed the big time college football party. But you’ll know him better as the Energizer Bunny on the Dallas Cowboy’s coaching staff in the 90s when they won three Super Bowls. Along the way, he was a college assistant, a head coach, Big D. celebrity, entrepreneur and radio talk show host. Which is why this episode of Garnet & Great is more than an interview, it’s the story of a life in football, right up til the end. P.S.: Next time you’re in Dallas, grab a slice at Yonkers Pizza, a tribute to Joe’s New York City birthplace. It’s owned and managed by his son, Tony Avezzano, who you’ll hear on the episode.
